President Obama has signed up for Obamacare!!!

YEAH!!! Though he will still use the military health benefits provided to the CiC and won't need to use the exchange service. He did sign up 'symbolically' in a sign of solidarity with the people. Though he himself couldn't be bothered with actually signing up. He had aides do it while he vacationed. His family... nah... they will get to keep the insurance they already had and they won't be using the Obama care plans either. Obviously the first family is well aware of how crappy this is going to be.
 
Obama signed up for "largely symbolic" health insurance coverage over the weekend, the White House said.


He chose one of the cheapest plans “as a show of support” for the millions of Americans his administration is trying to steer towards the new online exchanges.


Obama, who is on vacation in Hawaii, had a staffer do the heavy lifting for him, a White House official says.


He had to be enrolled in person, in no small part because his personal information is not readily available in the variety of government databases HealthCare.gov uses to verify identities.


“The act of the president signing up for insurance coverage through the DC exchange is symbolic since the president's health care will continue to be provided by the military,” the official added.


“But he was pleased to participate in a plan as a show of support for these marketplaces which are providing quality, affordable health care options to more than a million people. The president selected a bronze plan.”


Bronze plans have the lowest premiums and tend to have higher deductibles.


Obama doesn’t qualify for a federal subsidy to help pay premiums, both because of his income and because he is already covered.

LOL. They admit it is symbolic because he won't actually be on the craptacular plan, couldn't enroll through normal means because his information isn't available, and it really didn't do anything...

You go! Mr. pResident.. You've just got all that going for you.
